The 8-Port Power-Saving Gigabit Ethernet Switch from Asus is a networking tool that's an affordable and efficient solution for your home or small office network. This switch features eight speedy Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting computers or other Ethernet-enabled devices on your LAN network. Of these ports, one, the "VIP" port, allows you to prioritize more important or latency-sensitive traffic for applications like VoIP or gaming. The switch also features a power-saving feature whereby a specific port will go into standby mode if a computer connected to that port is turned off. Because the switch is also fanless, it operates quietly in the background. If you need a Gigabit switch at a bargain of a price for your home or especially your small office network, check out this one from Asus.

This switch features eight speedy Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting your computer or other devices within your LAN
Once you connect a device up to the "VIP" port, that port will prioritize more important or latency-sensitive traffic for applications like VoIP or gaming. The port ensures that 80% data is transferred to this port first
Designed to save power, this green network switch will automatically put specific ports in standby mode if a computer connected to that port is turned off. It will also reduce the amount of power transmitted when smaller cables are connected, providing only the necessary amount
The switch utilizes IEEE 802.3x flow control when needed in Full Duplex mode
The switch supports back pressure in Half Duplex mode so as to prevent overflows of traffic
The switch supports Full and Half Duplex modes when transmitting data at 10Mbps or 100Mbps speeds

        I use this switch as the primary switch in my home network. Pluged in the Ethernet cables, pluged in the power supply, and everything worked perfectly immediately. Fast, reliable data exchanges. No muss, no fuss, no bother. Can't beat it for the price.

          Comments about ASUS 8-Port Power-Saving Gigabit Ethernet Switch:

          I replaced three old Linksys switches with three Asus and noticed internal network performance improvements almost immediatedly. They are definitely plug and play, work as advertised, and are at a very nice price point.

            Works great, just plug it in right out of the box and you're all set. I've been an Asus fan for sometime now.

              Comments about ASUS 8-Port Power-Saving Gigabit Ethernet Switch:

              Easy to set up. We have not had a single lost signal on our network. We do not notice any slow down even when all the work stations are active at the same time. Our last router and switch slowed to a crawl when everybody was transfering files or sharing documents. We matched it with an Asus Dual Band Wirless-N Gigabit Router for a total of 6 workstations wired and 4 wireless, with 2 additional occasional wireless users.[...]
